VICTORIA BIGELOW
Spotlight Artist of The Week
Seldom does an artist come around whose lyricism is immediate and forgiving. Victoria Bigelow is a singer/songwriter whose honest, introspective and emotional music is right on time. A lover of nature, prose, the badass female musicians of the ‘90’s and the singer/songwriters of the ‘60’s, Bigelow has created a voice that is distinctly her own.
Sophia-Bella Cucci is an artist who translates her deep feelings and observations into authentic songwriting. Today, she released her second single, “From The Garden.” Gentle fingerpicking, simple production, delicate harmony and emotive lyrics create a relatable dreamscape of deep love. Cucci is a jack of all trades as her interest in the arts goes further than creating music. She designed the cover art for the single and also did 3D and 2D animation for the “From The Garden” lyric video.
Queens, New York native, Ori, is a songwriter, musician and producer who combines her love of electropop and indie music to create genre-defying tunes. What started as recording into her iPhone headphone microphone into the GarageBand app while on the metro has turned into an evolved and full-fledged song. Hence, “Homeless Guy,” is her debut single creating an earworm you’ll have on repeat.
If I Never Hit Land was released this past fall by Juletta and Ishan. The debut album reflects Juletta’s inner thoughts, her curiosities and her relationship to both the world and herself. The project was inspired by multiple interviews Juletta conducted in the summer of 2019 with an array of women she came across in parks and New York streets. Together, Juletta and Ishan, created an ethereal sonic landscape of recorded conversations, melodic wonder and genre-defying tunes.
Gabi Sklar is truly a force to be reckoned with. The twenty-year-old songstress is not taking no for an answer and is carving her own musical path as she pleases. Sklar’s voice is soulful with a distinct pop appeal. Her lyricism is clever, cool and relatable. We had the pleasure to talk with Sklar about the inspiration behind the “All The Things You Never Say” music video and the importance of having badass music role models.
more is composed of Kane Ritchotte and Malcolm McRae. Together, they released their debut EP ‘½’ on July 17th. The five tracks take the listener on an ethereal sonic experience as melodic rock interweaves with pop, art, soul and memorable groove. Each song truly holds its own as you can feel the deep creativity, curiosity and musicianship from the talented duo.
Shawn Wasabi has taken creativity to the next level. Using his custom-made Midi Fighter 64, Wasabi shows that music is all around us. Today, Wasabi drops his highly anticipated debut album MANGOTALE. Wasabi has produced nearly the entire project on his laptop showcasing his musical range from sound design protégé to pop producer. The release timely debuts during Asian Pacific American Heritage Month.
Emma Taylor is bringing back the emotive and vulnerable lyricism of the 70’s and 80’s with her own modern twist. Alumna of the prestigious New York University’s Clive Davis Institute of Recorded Music, the LA native and singer-songwriter is not holding anything back with her melodic, reflective and poignant hymns. Coining her style as “sad girl music,” the comedic, light-hearted songstress is versatile, self-aware and continues to deliver music our heart quietly craves.
MAY BBY and Chris Hue met in music school. The music they would soon create would exemplify the power of collaboration and coincidence. Blending electronic and moody pop music, MAY BBY and Chris Hue’s three singles are only the beginning for these creative visionaries. Hailing from the Netherlands and inspired by the likes of Frank Ocean, Martin Garrix and Kanye, they’ve created a modern, minimalistic, ethereal sound giving them an unique global appeal.
